Glassblower. Educator. Instigator.
Jordana Korsen is a glassblower and educator with over 30 years of experience at the furnace. As the founder of the Hot Glass Art Center in Marlborough, NH, she has dedicated her career to the philosophy of "making glass and glassblowers one gather at a time."
Her work is characterized by a "spontaneous yet technically sound" approach, resulting in vibrant functional pieces and whimsical sculptures that celebrate color, light, and function. For Jordana, glassblowing is a team sport; she views the hot shop as a space where heat, creativity and community collide.
Beyond the studio, Jordana’s impact on the craft is rooted in education and community. She led the glassblowing program at Franklin Pierce University for over two decades and continues to share her expertise as a longtime instructor at The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass and Snow Farm. A juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen since 1998, Jordana holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College.
